Respectfully disagreeing...

Strategypage has done an article on the Israeli Nemer IFV. It's not bad, carrying eight infantry, and a crew of three. Based on an old Merkava chassis, it'll be tough, too.

But the ultimate IFV, though, has to be the BTMP-84. OK, it carries three fewer infantry, but it maintains the firepower of the Ukranian T-84 tank. Just imagine meeting that sucker in a dark alley, and ask yourself what you would do.

I don't think it would be much of a contest.
